Was the most famous Bigfoot footage ever filmed a hoax? Or are the findings about so-called mystery footage debunking the Patterson Gimlin Film based on circumstantial evidence and logical leaps? "Capturing Bigfoot" director Marq Evans and producer Tamir Ardon join Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers (in an interview conducted March 2026) to defend their bombshell documentary and its mystery “test run” footage.On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed a towering, hairy figure striding through Bluff Creek, California. Their footage has been analyzed, debated and defended for nearly 60 years. Now "Capturing Bigfoot," streaming on Prime Video, claims a 16mm reel found locked in a safe shows a 1966 rehearsal with a man in a suit, and that it proves the legendary film was staged.What do you think about the famous Patterson Gimlin Film, and are you convinced by the findings of "Capturing Bigfoot"? _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

Everyone knows Halloween has ancient roots in Samhain. But the Halloween we actually celebrate — with orange and black decorations, trick-or-treating, store-bought masks and horror movie marathons — is far younger than you think. On this episode of Talking Strange, the paranormal pop culture show, host Aaron Sagers traces how the modern version of America’s spookiest holiday was invented by magazine editors, paper companies, mask makers and filmmakers.Discover why Halloween’s official colors were once brown, yellow and white; when “trick or treat” first appeared in print; how a Jazz Age paper company dressed the holiday in crepe paper; and how a rubber Frankenstein mask kicked off the monster boom, and why Hollywood waited decades to make Halloween the star.Sources: Lisa Morton, Trick or Treat: A History of Halloween David J.

Halloween and Samhain traditions are real, and you can still visit them this year. Host Aaron Sagers invites you along for a Hallowtide road trip across England, Ireland and the Isle of Man.In England, children in Somerset carry turnip lanterns on Punkie Night. In Cheshire pubs, a century-old horse skull named Dick snaps at the crowd during the Antrobus Soul Cakers' play for All Souls'. Lewes marches 17 burning crosses through town on Bonfire Night, and in Ottery St Mary locals run through the streets with flaming tar barrels on their backs. In Ireland, we climb the Hill of Ward, called Tlachtga, where legend says Samhain's sacred fire was lit, and see what archaeologists have actually found there. Then we crawl into Oweynagat, the "Cave of the Cats," known as Ireland's gate to hell. We finish with Derry's Halloween festival, the biggest in Europe, and Hop-tu-Naa, the Isle of Man's oldest unbroken tradition, complete with witch songs and fortune-telling in the hearth ashes.

Every haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights 2026, ranked from worst to best. Host (and HHN superfan) Aaron Sagers takes on HHN 35 at Universal Orlando Resort. He ranks all 10 houses: Stranger Things 5, Sinners, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness, Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, Cybergoria, MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, INVASION: Alien Abduction and H.R.

JD Vance told Joe Rogan that UFOs aren't aliens; they're demons. Now the director of the documentary UFOs and God pushes back, but also weighs in on why his new film presents the point of view that UAPs aren't extraterrestrial, and they ain't nice.Wes Llewellyn co-directed the new Vision Films documentary with his wife, Amanda, whose reported childhood abductions are at the center of it. He argues the phenomenon is spiritual rather than extraterrestrial,and that "demon" is the wrong word for it, not because these things are harmless, but because the word ends the conversation.Host Aaron Sagers digs in on where evidence stops and belief begins: the night Amanda told him and the years he spent not believing her, why any visitor would have to be interdimensional, whether "nefarious" is a finding or a faith position, where a Christian-lens film leaves everyone else, and what the government's slow-drip disclosure is really for.UFOs and God is out now from Vision Films. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

Four thousand years before Ghost Hunters, somebody wrote down an encounter with the dead, and the instructions for getting rid of him involved beer. Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers offers up a brief origins of ghost hunting from the Epic of Gilgamesh and the oldest known image of a ghost, to the Roman philosopher who solved a haunting on a writing deadline, to the 1794 novel that used the phrase "ghost-hunting" like everybody already knew what it meant.

Eli Roth just spent 20 years plotting the death of the ice cream truck.This week on Talking Strange, horror icon Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel, Thanksgiving) joins host Aaron Sagers to talk about his tenth feature, Ice Cream Man, opening August 7, 2026. This is his most ambitious, most blood-soaked project yet, and the first release from his new studio, The Horror Section. The film stars Ari Millen as a silent, smiling villain who turns an idyllic small town's children into instruments of mass patricide, with executive production from Nas and original music from Snoop Dogg. (And no, this isn't the 1995 Clint Howard cult movie of the same name.) This is Eli Roth's Pied Piper fairy tale, and it is a completely different animal.We get into the hilarious and squirm-inducing gore, the surprisingly wholesome chaos of directing 80 kids covered in fake blood, and why Roth thinks the scariest villains are the ones who believe they're the hero. Roth also shares his own tales of scary urban legends and ice cream trucks. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

Harry Houdini spent the final years of his life doing something few expected from the world's greatest escape artist: hunting ghosts. Or rather, hunting those who claimed to speak to ghosts.In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers sits down with John Cox, the leading Houdini historian behind the acclaimed blog Wild About Harry (wildabouthoudini.com). Cox is the author of Escaping Obscurity: The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini, 1897–1899 and is currently completing a definitive three-volume Houdini biography.Aaron and John dig into Houdini's complicated, often contradictory relationship with Spiritualism — a movement he publicly crusaded against. They trace the rise and collapse of his friendship with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the Sherlock Holmes creator and devout Spiritualist whose unwavering belief in psychic phenomena put him on a collision course with Houdini's exposure campaigns. The conversation also covers Houdini's own staged séances, the mystery of his famous secret code with wife Bess, and the strange afterlife of his legacy in pop culture.For more with John Cox, check out the expanded episode on Aaron's Patreon (Patreon.com/AaronSagers)_______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

What does it actually take to investigate Bigfoot, Area 51, and the Loch Ness Monster with a journalist's eye instead of a believer's bias? This week, Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers sits down with Emmy Award winning producer Miguel Sancho, showrunner behind A&E's The Proof Is Out There and former investigative producer at 20/20 and 48 Hours.Miguel walks us through the reporting and technology his team uses to chase down some of history's most stubborn mysteries, from cryptozoology and ancient archeology to simulation theory and the afterlife. We dig into his new book Evidence of the Extraordinary, packed with over sixty full color photographs, and talk about what separates rigorous paranormal investigation from wishful thinking, plus why hard bitten journalism might be the best tool we have for tackling the unexplained. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

Why does an empty office hallway feel scarier than a monster? Folklorist Dr. Lynne S. McNeill breaks down the psychology behind Backrooms, Severance, and the internet's obsession with liminal spaces.If you've ever felt unsettled walking through an abandoned mall, a fluorescent-lit office at night, or scrolling past another eerie "backrooms" photo on your feed, this episode is for you. Host Aaron Sagers speaks with Dr. Lynne S. McNeill — folklore professor and Chair of the Folklore Program at Utah State University — to unpack why "liminality" has become one of horror's biggest cultural forces.Lynne traces the concept back to anthropologist Arnold Van Gennep's work on rites of passage, then connects it straight through to Backrooms, Apple TV's Severance, Slender Man, analog horror, and the "uncanny" spaces that dominate TikTok and Reddit. They also dig into: What "liminality" actually means — and why folklorists say it's nearly universal across cultures How the COVID-19 pandemic supercharged our fascination with in-between, abandoned spaces Why Gen Z and Gen Alpha are drawn to liminal horror even without nostalgia for malls or offices The difference between "the Backrooms" as a place vs. the Backrooms as a mythology (and why that split matters) AI, "latent space," and the unsettling folklore already forming around it (yes, they talk about Loab) _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

He arrived with felt shoes, a bowl of mercury, and a hunger for fame. When ghost hunter Harry Price drove up to Borley Rectory in 1929, he was stepping into the role he'd spent his whole life rehearsing, and into one of the most controversial paranormal investigations in history.In this episode of Talking Strange, we dig into the strange, murky world of Harry Price: self-made skeptic, showman, and the man who declared a crumbling Essex rectory "the most haunted house in England." We trace his rise from a staged adolescent ghost hunt to the heights of British paranormal celebrity, his decades-long obsession with Borley's phantom nun, mysterious wall writings, and objects that moved on their own — and the damning posthumous expose that called it all into question.Was Price a dedicated investigator who genuinely believed? A fraud who manufactured evidence for book deals? Or something more complicated, such as a man whose craving for legend became indistinguishable from the legend itself? Whether you're a seasoned ghost story enthusiast or new to the world of paranormal history, this episode explores the blurry line between investigation and performance, belief and deception.Topics covered: Harry Price's origins and rise to fame as England's premier ghost hunter The dark history of Borley Rectory and its phantom nun legend The 1937 experiment: 48 volunteer observers and a year of documented strange occurrences The fire, the bones in the cellar, and the investigation that never truly ended The 1956 debunking — and why Borley's ghosts refuse to stay buried Sources include: Alice Vernon's Ghosted, Brian Righi's Ghosts Apparitions and Poltergeists, Lisa Morton's Ghosts: A Haunted History, and David Jaher's The Witch of Lime Street.If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to Talking Strange and leave a review — it helps more strange history find its audience. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.
